If you can read a text message, you can cook just about anything with our new smart kitchen timer for Apple Watch and iPhone.

"How long do you have to cook that for again?"

I can never remember. I've probably made fifty roast chickens in my life and I still couldn't confidently tell you exactly how long you need to cook it for and at what temperature. I mean, I have a rough idea. It's like an hour and 350 degrees. But do I really know? My internal chef always nags at me. You're going to serve a dried chicken carcass. You're going to serve raw chicken and kill your guests. So, I always have to double check. Better safe than salmonella, right?

Our new Smart Timer for Apple Watch and iPhone solves that problem in a fun, modern way. We've got specific timers for more than 40 of your favorite ingredients. That's five cuts of steak, seven ways to do chicken, four pork options, six types of seafood, four egg timers, and sixteen different vegetables. And if you don't like one of our pre-set timers? You can set your own.

We tried to make our smart timer as helpful and simple as possible. Just pick what you want to cook. Tell us how much that chicken weighs or how you like your steak. Halfway through, we'll remind you to flip your food. Before the timer's up, you'll get some advice on how to tell if it's done — you'll even see a picture of what done looks like. (Like that roasted broccoli up there!) Oh, heck. Seeing is believing. Watch this video we whipped up for you.

Pretty exciting, eh? It's available right now for anyone who has an iPhone. But to be honest, it's even more fun on Apple Watch, which starts hitting wrists on April 24. Download the Epicurious Smart Timer right now from the iTunes Store.
